You should have been timing yourself all along by doing practice passages as you did content review. Practicing passages under non-timed conditioned will lead to bad bad bad habits. If you are done with content review, the best thing to do now is AAMC full lengths (timed, all questions, all sections, simulate like real thing) and get a feel for where you are weak at, and address those areas specifically with re-content review, additional practice sets (like EK101), and really working on test-taking skills.

What practice tests do you have other than the AAMC ones?

You need to start doing those to get the timing down!

You've still got over 2 months to drill it down, so you'll be in good shape if you start now. It might be frustrating at first, but dive right into it. If you slow down when taking them, you risk inflating your scores and getting stressed when the real test gets here.

Good luck!

ive been doing passages along with content, but i didnt time them uh oh :/ ive started doing ek 1001 bio passages times sooo kinda worried. but yeah i have kaplan fl 2-11 and aamc full lengths 3-10, from which i wanna save 7-10 to complete in may. i can buy tbr or tpr if need be. but i guess im gonna start doing a **** ton of timed practice tests! thanks for the advice! 🙂
